The Genius Year

#1 Post by Bob » Thu Aug 20, 2020 9:09 pm

Despite having 5 months less education in their last year than previous learners, the school leavers of 2020 have massively better grades than ever...astounding
I look forward to the leaps in technology and science that no doubt will be forthcoming from this brilliant generation

And the fact that they were not properly tested and assessed has nothing to do with it.
Because they stand on the wall and say "nothing's gonna hurt you tonight, not on my watch".

From experience it is not difficult to improve grades. It is more difficult to check and improve knowledge.

It’s taken a decades-long process to arrive at the educational mess in which we find ourselves, especially in ‘liberal’ in Western democracies, where dumbing down and latterly the snowflake epidemic have driven the system.

You have to ask yourself "is this really the best they could come up with, given several months notice?"

I don't see credit anywhere.
